I say spring too. As said I agree people are preparing for summer fun.

It's been a little while but I believe Koyo was the brand my guy insisted on using even though they were a bit more expensive - whatever you do don't try saving a few bucks on another brand - you'll regret it. Note: If that's not the good brand I'm thinking of please correct me.

As stated, tire pressure makes a HUGE difference when climbing loose or sandy hardpack. I'm constantly amazed what the rig will crawl up in 2wd at 12 psi in back. If you're going to get a compressor spend a little more than you want to on a good one and you'll be glad you did - decent...

I can't remember what code it was, but the smog tech told me to just keep driving it "so the computer can get enough data". Mine took about 150 miles before it eventually reset and gave no codes. Wish I could get more technical...

Thank you very much for the replies, I'll break out the multimeter and read responses again as I troubleshoot - I'll post where I find my bug soon as I do Much appreciated.

Great to hear from ya, I sold the Fullerton home I was renting a couple months and been full time here in Green Valley for about a year and love it. If you ever want to get dirty give me a holler and come on up!

Hey gang, all windows and sunroof work great except the pass rear from both drivers switch and that door switch. I'm guessing there's not a fuse for just that window and my bud grabbed me a new salvaged switch just to see but no luck. Anything cheap and easy to check before pulling the door...

My rig doesn't see enough pavement to notice any MPG difference, but I can't imagine it would be much at all. I will say a nice front bumper definitely gives your rig a better look than that giant piece of stock plastic. Go for it!

I had to do a double take when I saw your rig - looks great and good choice!

Thanks Mike, I'm running 285/75 and seems to be just right with a 3" lift. I only get slight rubbing in in front when flexing it hard while wheel is turned otherwise they great up here for rocky terrain and fun in the snow too with proper PSI.

WD40 is pretty safe for almost any surface on the vehicle - there's a lot of myths out there but it's actually a pretty gentle mix - I keep finding more uses for it all the time. Good luck.

Yeah that fire was right over in that area but fortunately the wind kept a steady onshore flow and kept blowing it towards the desert. Earlier this week the Mart Fire was actually a lot more concerning because it had nowhere to go but up the mountain thru very dense brush; they hammered that...

Right on, looks like a solid rig - exactly the same as my first one but it was only 2wd. Time to ditch those running boards though for a more aggressive look.

Congrats on the new rig - looks like you got a clean one. As you probably now by now you have to take pics in landscape view rather than portrait. There is a wealth of information and just good chats and pics on here. What are your plans for it? Welcome!

Today it was heavy fog and very light snow - I love it!
